Aeonian Rating®

Our proprietary Aeonian Rating® is used to identify the highest quality commercial research antibodies from the original manufacturer. Our quality standard is independent of the number of applications the antibody is claimed fit for. Instead, the quality of the data to demonstrate fitness is a determining factor. In addition, the formulation of the product on offer is also important. For example, a monoclonal antibody shown fit in multiple applications but offered as a culture supernatant (hybridoma-conditioned medium), will get a very low rating and is not even considered for our catalogue. In contrast, an antibody shown fit for one single application (e.g. demonstrated by quality data on WB or on IHC) and offered in the correct formulation, will be rated much higher. The quality data must be convincing, clearly demonstrating at least specificity. Inclusion of appropriate controls increases the rating of the product. The highest rating is for demonstration of selectivity on top of specificity (see our blog to find out the difference).

What makes the Aeonian Rating® unique?

Our proprietary selection criteria Aeonian Rating® is our unique selling point. The algorithms behind this proprietary are complex and remain a trading secret. Some aspects have been mentioned above. These algorithms dismiss the majority of commercial research antibodies, and we only take those with Aeonian Rating® 70 and higher on our catalogue.

When you search for an antibody against one protein, you will get 100s, if not 1000s, of results returned. How are you going to make a choice? Even the highest reputable vendors may have too many choices to offer. Our Aeonian Rating® filters them down to a digestible amount.

This means that we have done the heavy lifting. Buying from our catalogue, you avoid buying a poorly performing antibody from the market. This will save you time and funds. And all our products are warranted, money back guarantee.
